Crown Holdings raises 2025 adjusted EPS guidance to $7.70-$7.80 after Q3 earnings rise

Positive Impact 4 of 5 earnings Written later

Crown Holdings reported third quarter 2025 results, with net sales of $3,202 million, up from $3,074 million a year earlier, and diluted earnings per share of $1.85 versus a diluted loss of $1.47 in 2024. The company raised its full-year 2025 adjusted diluted EPS guidance to $7.70 to $7.80 and reported it had reached its 2.5x adjusted net leverage target, which matters to shareholders because the company also returned more than $400 million to shareholders in the first nine months through buybacks and dividends.

  • Full-year 2025 adjusted diluted EPS guidance raised to $7.70 to $7.80; fourth quarter adjusted EPS expected at $1.65 to $1.75
  • Expected 2025 adjusted free cash flow of approximately $1.0 billion after capital spending of approximately $400 million
  • Adjusted net leverage ratio reached 2.5x at September 30, 2025, the company's long-term target
